Winnipeg Part Deux (Act 1)

Couldn't bring myself to file an entry last night as I was enjoying the hospitality of the Western provinces. They hosted a huge event, 'Party Prairie Style', and took over one of Downtown Winnipeg's few good bars called Tavern United.

Attended a couple of very informative sessions yesterday afternoon, including the Building Relationships (fundraising) seminar put on by RMG Marketing. RMG has partnered with the Conservative Party since the beginning and they handle the party's fundraising campaigns. Picked up some valuable advice and tips for future campaigning and how to build a war chest for Hamilton Mountain.

Also spent some time at an economic forum put on by Tony Clement (Industry), Gail Shea (Fisheries), Lisa Raitt (Natural Resources), and John Baird (Transportation and Infrastructure). Canada is well served by having these 4 individuals handle such important portfolios as we head through tough economic times. They are bright, focussed, and determined to chart a positive course for Canada.

Off for the flight home...
